The good- 1.5 Take away Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Johnson's scrambles and that's what the Bucs' running backs averaged per carry Sunday (22 carries, 33 yards). It will be tough to do that to Atlanta's Michael Turner.

The bad- 3 Times in a row Atlanta has beaten the Panthers, including 31-17 on Oct.16.

The ugly- 44.6 Newton's quarterback rating the first time he played the Falcons, when he threw for 237 yards and zero touchdowns and three interceptions.

Here's some more bad for ya...

The Falcons have never lost to a team with a losing record, under coach Mike Smith.

The Falcons have not lost back-to-back games this season.

The Falcons have scored 30+ on the Panthers in 3 straight games.

The Falcons are in the Play-off hunt.

Here is some good for you.

The last two years we had any kind of quarterback, we beat Atlanta at our house (2008 and 2009).

The never losing to a team with a losing record is crap. We beat Atlanta in 2009 at BOA 28-19 on November 15th and we were 3-5 at the time.

Falcons have lost plenty of back to back games over the past several years.

The Panthers haven't let Atlanta score 20 points at BOA in 2008 and 2009 before falling apart in 2010.

The Falcons are going to be derailed this week from the hunt.

The never losing to a team with a losing record is crap. We beat Atlanta in 2009 at BOA 28-19 on November 15th and we were 3-5 at the time. I must admit, you're right!

Falcons have lost plenty of back to back games over the past several years. The last time we lost back-to-back games was in November of 2009, which means this year's team hasn't either

The Panthers haven't let Atlanta score 20 points at BOA in 2008 and 2009 before falling apart in 2010.Once again, those teams won't be playing in this game

The Falcons are going to be derailed this week from the hunt.

It should be an entertaining game, I just think Carolina's defense won't be able to stop Atlanta's offense. Carolina's offense will move the ball and score, I just don't think it will be enough.

Truth is turnovers derailed us last time in Atlanta not a great Atlanta offense. Add two PI calls in the endzone and we handed the Falcons the game on a silver platter.

What most folks don't know is that the 2 DTS, Neblett and Kearse, starting this week are better than Fua and McClain who went on IR. We won't shut down Turner but he won't run wild either. Our defense has been suspect but we are actually improving while the Falcons will be without their normal secondary.

I don't think Atlanta will be able to stop the Panthers offense this time. I think the Atlanta offense will score points but I don't think it will be enough. The Falcons are a much better team at home than away. In their three road wins, they have beaten Seattle, Indy, and actually a good win in Detroit. They don't really have a history of playing well in BOA so I think the score will be reversed this time. Carolina 31-Atlanta 17.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
